Decoupage Clock with Crackle finish

Hello Friends & welcome here again!

It is decoupage again today!

To decoupage this clock, I first painted the base with ITSY BITSY chalk paints - lemon chiffon & drift wood (the base), followed by gluing the napkin. After blending the background with chalk paint once again, I applied the first component of the two step crackle medium all over the surface, followed by the second medium after the first dried. As the layer dries the cracks appear. 

To for an aged look & to highlight the cracks I buffed brown acrylic paint into the cracks.

For the base I worked on a distressed look.

Altered - Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock

Hello Friends!

I'm here with the DT project for Lulupu Challenge#49. You will find all the details for this challenge Lulupu Challenge #49 : Feminine - Use wings & Colour Palette.

I have altered a Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock. 

To begin I removed the glass & back panel of the clock & generously primed the surface by sponging gesso (2-3 layers). This lends a grainy texture. After this I colored the clock with distress inks - mowed lawn & salty ocean. The MDF cut outs were coated with mowed lawn distress paint & glued as desired with glossy accents.

I used liquid pearls to add defintion to the frame of the clock as well as the MDF frame.

The little angel (wings) here is from G45 - Sweet Sentiments. The bird perched on the flourish is coated with black soot distress crackle paint.

Glued to the inside of the back panel is a colorful printout of a clock face. Hanging here is also a miniature bird house! I have glued a resin door (colored with vintage photo distress ink) too. A flower under the arch of the door keeps it open , welcoming one & all!

Hanging on one side of the clock bell is a cute wish bottle with a secret message & cute feminine charms.

Here are some close ups of the clock! 

Hope you enjoyed todays' project.

Celebrating Dad!

Masculine theme cards are not my forte & I always avoid making them!

With fathers day round the corner, I challenged myself to give it a try & am pleased with what I made. Let me confess though I did look out for inspiration on pinterest!

I had this paper in my stash for a long time (and yes I knew the denim like textured print will make creating a masculine card easier!!)

This is what the note in the pocket reads - 

The little heart is colored with a marker & covered with glossy accents.

Supplies used - 

Card stock - local buy

Die - SB page maps

PP - 

Stamps - Hero arts CL335, Itsy bitsy Vintage clocks

Inks - Archival black, DI - vintage photo, walnut stain

Others - brad, glossy accents

Twisted Easel Card

Hi Friends!

Sharing with you my first twisted easel card. I have added a lot of details in this one but before I come to that let me show you the card............

I began with a scored red card base which was then layered with a Spellbinders Romantic rectangles die cut distressed with fired brick distress ink. The Tim Holtz  alterations tick-tock die cut was then painted distress paint (black soot). Added clear distress crackle paint over this die cut (unfortunately I have not been able to capture the fine cracks in the pic). I had a clock MDF laser cut & the size was just perfect to fit into the die cut. So there it is!! Isn't the red glitter embossed MDF just made for this color combo! Don't miss the antique chain with dangling charms.

A few embellishments, blooms to finish the front................

This is the inside of the card. Once again to my delight the Kaisercraft stamp was perfect for the distressed die cut I used here. "Love you always" is hand written with a red embossing pen & heat embossed in clear powder. The red daisy die cuts were sprayed with Mistries & the shimmer is from LSG mist (crows nest copper)

The card looks like this when closed.....
